Although they lived nearly 800 years ago, Saint Francis and Saint
Clare of Assisi serve as excellent guides for the modern Lenten
journey. Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi abandoned their
comfortable lifestyles and embraced lives of poverty, humility, and
penance to better follow the call to Christian discipleship. Both
saints underwent powerful conversion experiences in their lives. In
the course of their conversions, they ignited a movement that
reformed the medieval Church and that continues to influence and
inspire millions of Christians to this day. In this book of
prayers, letters, poetry, rules of life, and testaments, Francis
and Clare express their vision of the Gospel life. Included are
numerous themes extremely appropriate for the Lenten and Easter
seasons: penance, conversion, self-sacrifice, service, embracing
the cross, the humility and charity of Christ, joy, new life, and
mission. Through these daily meditations, Scriptural readings, and
spiritual exercises, we follow two of the most influential figures
in Church history. Each selected writing is followed by a brief
scripture passage, a fitting prayer, and a suggested action-making
this book an ideal companion for daily use. The words and example
of these two great saints will inspire readers faithfully to follow
Christ to the cross so that, together with them, they might
experience the joy and new life of Easter. "Paperback"
